OTHER ALTERNATIVE MODERN FUNERAL SONGS IN 2022…
“Shake it Out” – Florence and The Machine
As the title suggests, sometimes you just need to stand up and shake it out. I love this song for what I like to call “Sacred Screaming”, which is essentially building up all your anger, grief, and pent up-ness and letting it out in a bunch of screams. Best to scream into a pillow. Even better if you give the pillow a few punches in the process!
“You Can’t Rush Your Healing” – Trevor Hall
This song helps you relax, especially in a bathtub or with a cup of tea. It offers hope and comfort to people who are grieving. The truth is, we can’t hurry our healing process, so we might as well find ways to get comfortable with it.
“Follow The Sun” – Xavier Rudd
The hardest part of grief is waking up. As soon as you wake up, and remember the pain in my heart, it’s hard for to get your day started. Coffee helps, but it wears off eventually. This song brings you back by encouraging to remember and feel grateful for the good things in your day and life.
